Summary

XT Exchange (XT.com), founded in 2018 and registered in Seychelles, is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that has been flagged by multiple regulatory authorities — including the UK FCA, Dubai VARA, Thailand SEC, and the Seychelles FSA — for operating without proper licensing. The exchange suffered a $1.7 million hot wallet exploit in November 2024 due to a compromised private key, and has accumulated substantial user complaints alleging unjustified account freezing, asset seizure, and blocked withdrawals. Independent analysis has also raised concerns about inflated trading volumes and inadequate proof-of-reserves transparency.
